What the Critics Said:
- Writing for The Independent,
Paul Taylor described the play as “an unashamed – no, shameless – vehicle for four feisty old troupers whose task is to make us laugh a little, sigh a little and cry a little as they take us into the bittersweet world of facing up to age and mortality.” - Reviewing the play for The Spectator, Sheridan Morley concluded: “Harwood seems to have set out with something sad to say about the ravages of age on a profession which largely depends on staying young, but then to have been sidetracked into a sort of Three Tenors concert celebration without the Three Tenors
